Intern, Compliance Engineering - Spring 2027

As a Compliance Engineering Intern, you will be the bridge between regulatory standards and innovative product design. You’ll identify and interpret compliance requirements, design, develop and execute tests to validate regulatory specifications, and ensure our products achieve certifications to seamlessly enter global markets.

How You Will Contribute

Research, interpret, and apply compliance requirements from IEEE, IEC, ISO, NERC, FERC, and other bodies to support product listings and new market entries.

Partner with engineering leads across the product lifecycle to embed compliance into product architecture and design, bringing first-principles-informed, can-do creativity

Develop and execute compliance test plans, including identifying/building test infrastructure and resources.

Debug failures and drive design solutions in collaboration with engineering design teams

Contribute to thought leadership through white papers, and regional codes and standards activities.

What You Will Bring

We have a short list of must-have requirements. We prioritize candidates with a strong grip on first principles, hands-on skills, and initiative.

Must-Have Requirements

Undergraduate degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering or equivalent

Strong foundation in electrical engineering principles, power systems and power electronics

Hands-on experience with test automation using Python, LabVIEW, or embedded scripting for power hardware validation.

Interpretation skill to digest requirements and convert to test specifications

Ability to thrive in ambiguity, relying on your first principles engineering experience to identify creative solutions to hard problems.

Capability to remain engaged, proactive, and positive under pressure, owning assignments and taking full accountability

Effective communicator and negotiator with excellent attention to detail.

Hands on experience designing and operating test equipment and data acquisition systems, such as oscilloscopes, power analyzers, data loggers, etc.
